Creator's Key Takeaways

We are back on the Swiss Diamond for our fourth cruise on this beautiful ship.

The cabins are very, very nice. A bit smaller than on newer ships, but they have everything you need and are in very good a nice condition.

The ship was looking amazing because it was nicely decorated with a lot of Christmas decorations.

The fruit on board was always amazing. Much above the standard of most river cruise ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the bus from Hano to Cologne if needed, as it's no longer included in the cruise fare.
โœ“Visit the Christmas market in Cologne after embarkation, as the ship stays late.
โœ“Explore Nijmegen's shopping street and Kronenburgger Park for a pleasant visit.
